- Hi.
-
- I'm using ObtainBetterPens 0.2 now for quite a while and I really improves
- the quality of the backdrops used. Unfortunately, I think that I found a
- minor bug. This is related to the color distribution of OBP. I'll try to
- explain it ...
-
- I'm using a 8 Bit CV screen (1024x768) as WB with the new 24 Bit
- CyberGraphiX datatypes. I locked colors 4-7, 9, 10, 12-15 for the MagicWB
- icons. Pens 0-3 and 252-255 are locked already by the WB itself. Then Pens
- 17-19 are locked for the mouse pointer. This means that the following pens
- are locked:

- What happens now when loading the backdrop picture is that pen 251 isn't
- used (though it's free) and therefore that pen 19 is used by the backdrop
- picture. This pen is however locked by the WB.
-
- To summerize, the whole palette from 19 to 250 should be moved upwards by
- one pen.
-
- I tried to contact Petter Nilsen (the author of OBP) already twice, but he
- doesn't reply ;(

-
- Thanks for any help !
